STATISTICALLY SPEAKING
More than three-fourths of the 2016 season remain, and Byung Ho Park is already on the top-10 list for home runs by a Twins rookie:
33: Jimmie Hall, 1963
24: Marty Cordova, 1995
18: Miguel Sano, 2015
15: Dan Ford, 1975
14: Oswaldo Arcia, 2013
13: Eddie Rosario, 2015
12: Bernie Allen, 1962
10: Chad Allen, 1999, and Butch Wynegar, 1976
9: Byung Ho Park, 2016, Kennys Vargas, 2014, and Jacque Jones, 1999
One big problem with the Twins' offense in 2016: They no longer take advantage of full counts. Brian Dozier entered Friday 1-for-20 (.050) on full counts. Only Cleveland's Mike Napoli (.042) is worse.
